Abstract: Chinese new generation science fiction refers to the science fiction after the 1990s because of their diverse creative concepts, aesthetic values and new narrative modes. This paper summarizes the development of Chinese science fiction literature, and analyzes the utopias in Chinese new generation science fiction. The types of utopias in new generation science fiction can be divided into two aspects: temporal and spatial utopias and technological utopias. The characteristics of Chinese new generation's utopia include extraordinary Imagination, new and different ways of thinking. The functions of Chinese utopia are mainly reflected in the affirmation of ultimate values and the criticism of reality. The creation of new generations has brought new hope to Chinese science fiction literature, but in general, Chinese science fiction literature has a long way to go.
